There was a bit of a lifehack-style push back in Firefox 2(maybe 3) when it was a "pro tip" kind of deal and you could download premade queryfolders but I'd bet no more than 10000 users have anything outside the default 3.<br>
<br>
(Although as an odd fact, I had a weird bug where all my bookmarks duplicated over back in the day and over so I actually have 20 queryfolders... not that I use thembut it makes my profile a good test profile.)<br>

Ah, ok, that's helpful. In that case, would it be correct to presume<br>
that in general there should not be any additional queries beyond<br>
these three -- i.e., there is no standard user action that results in<br>
the creation of more such queries?<br>

This should not be reporting anything that's not a bookmark.<br>
